UIPasteControl Not Firing

I have an iOS app where I'm trying to paste something previously copied to the user's UIPasteboard. I came across the UIPasteControl as an option for a user to tap to silently paste without having the prompt "Allow Paste" pop up.

For some reason, despite having what seemingly is the correct configurations for the UIPasteControl, on testing a tap, nothing is called. I expected override func paste(itemProviders: [NSItemProvider]) to fire, but it does not.

Any help would be appreciated as there doesn't seem to be much info anywhere regarding UIPasteControl.

import UIKit
import UniformTypeIdentifiers

class ViewController: UIViewController {
private let pasteControl = UIPasteControl()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground

    pasteControl.target = self
    pasteConfiguration = UIPasteConfiguration(acceptableTypeIdentifiers: [
         UTType.text.identifier,
         UTType.url.identifier,
         UTType.plainText.identifier
     ])

    //Tried setting pasteControl's pastConfiguration, and got the same result.          
      //pasteControl.pasteConfiguration = UIPasteConfiguration(
      //acceptableTypeIdentifiers: [
        //UTType.text.identifier,
        //UTType.url.identifier,
        //UTType.plainText.identifier
      //]
    //)

    view.addSubview(pasteControl)
    pasteControl.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
    NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
        pasteControl.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
        pasteControl.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor),
    ])
}
}

extension ViewController {
override func paste(itemProviders: [NSItemProvider]) {
        for provider in itemProviders {
            if provider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier(UTType.url.identifier) {
                provider.loadObject(ofClass: URL.self) { [weak self] reading, _ in
                    guard let url = reading as? URL else { return }
                    print(url)
                }
            }
            else if provider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier(UTType.plainText.identifier) {
                provider.loadObject(ofClass: NSString.self) { [weak self] reading, _ in
                    guard let nsstr = reading as? NSString else { return }
                    let str = nsstr as String
                    if let url = URL(string: str) {
                        print(url)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

You need to setup the UIPasteControl with a UIPasteControl.Configuration.

Change the line:

private let pasteControl = UIPasteControl()

to:

private let pasteControl = UIPasteControl(configuration: .init())

and the paste control will start working as expected.

Of course you might want to refactor that code a bit so you can set some properties as desired for the configuration.
